The African Stories Database has been created to provide searchable, user-friendly access to a collection of over 1,000 African
stories (of which 586 stories are presently in the database) including folk tales, historical fiction pieces, myths, parables, poems,
prayers, riddles, song-proverbs and true stories. This feature enables users to find African stories for a wide variety of interests
and occasions. The content of this database is made of up stories containing over 140 different themes and sub-themes. The stories
integrated in this database are in the public domain and can be re-used and interpreted as you wish. If you use a story please
acknowledge the source. If you use a story we would appreciate you letting the Moderator (Moderator@afriprov.org)
know so we can share this news with others.

If you have a new African story to add to this database, please send it to the Moderator (Moderator@afriprov.org).
